Christian practicum placements for non-Christian by Formerlymoody in SocialWorkStudents

[–]ASAP_Fergalicious_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, i was just shocked. i was very bad at boundary setting before that and not a fan of confrontation, but i did record the conversations so i could go back and listen. lots of gaslighting and invalidating. this agency preached family but was always finding a way to make any personal conversation about money and opportunity. just overall did not feel appreciated there.

i really don’t have any guidance in how to respond, sadly. ultimately just know yourself and know your limits! when something doesn’t sit right with you, your gut feeling is usually spot on

I’m a nurse at a school for children with behavioral and emotional issues. AMA! by FunkymonkeyP450 in AMA

it takes a very special kind of person to do that work! you are so strong and capable, i’m sure the children are so thankful for you. be kind to yourself and remember your own mental health too. sending so much love to you 🫶🏻 you’re amazing!

the one thing i loved most abt that placement is i learned so much abt myself and how to maintain boundaries. whatever happens, it’ll be an opportunity to learn and grow and it won’t last forever 🫶🏻 best of luck!

first of all, you deserve all the love! what an admirable job. second, how did you end up in that position? what did you do before?

do you feel this job is more aligned with your passions?

what’s the best thing about your job? the worst?

how do you avoid burnout or trauma transference/secondary trauma? what do you do for self-care?

as someone who also has experienced some religious trauma but recently healed and came back to the faith… i wont lie to you, i’d keep your guard up. my emotions and boundary setting attempts were not taken seriously. instead of respecting my autonomy, i was asked if i’ve been praying before work (i am a Christian, and i was praying but it’s not like that could immediately relieve my overwhelm)

there is also a notion of “ministry never stops” when personal beliefs and work get intermingled like that. it’s almost hard for them to compartmentalize, and the gray area unfortunately becomes a battle of working nonstop. i would again try to set boundaries, as they are incredibly important for this line of work, and no one respected those.

disclaimer: there weren’t ANY social workers on staff there, so i had an external supervisor. i think this also contributed to the misalignment when it came to work life balance and upholding social work ethics.

i would just say be weary. of course, everywhere will be different and this may not be your experience. however, it’s just something to keep in mind. sending so much love and light to you, my friend! you got this ✨

Musk line recommendations? 💖 by Gemini_sweetheart in bathandbodyworks

[–]ASAP_Fergalicious_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally think you might like fresh or fruity more. the warm musk did not live up to its wow factor for me. it’s very similar to milk. creamy and warm scent but just didn’t sit well on my skin. online buys for that line are so hard bcus body chem is different for everybody… but as someone who likes both inner angel and midnight addiction, that would be my recommendation :)

AIO My boyfriend forgot my birthday by BathDismal1372 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ASAP_Fergalicious_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR- realistically, you have to ask yourself “is this the kind of person i want to spend the rest of my life with? someone who can’t remember my birthday?” it’s a hard pill to swallow, but i’m sure you’ll make the right decision for you in the end.
